Word 2010 default save as location not being used when opening attachment from emails

Using Word 2010 and Windows 7 x64 whenever a Word document is opened from either and email or the internet the "save as" location used is not the default network location I have set in Word 2010, It always opens up the documents library.

I have spent ages searching for a solution but have not seen this reported anywhere.

I'd be grateful for any help or advice you can offer.

Thanks in advance.

So did you read this section from the link posted, together with Diane's post?

 

hello again,

  • Create the folder where you would like to save your mail or attachement to
  • (I assume that you will create a folder somewhere and you call it (myfolder)
  • Now from within outlook when you try to save-as or insert-add-attachemnt do the following
  • for instance save as
  • a window asking you to save will appear
  • now locate your folder you created or have already, for instance (myfolder)
  • just select this folder
  • now move to the left side of the window where you can see some pre-made folder (with a top title called 'Save-In'
  • now mouse-right-click on any part of this left side area
  • a small window will pop-up
  • the first item in this window will be called 'Add myfolder'
  • close the window and do not do any saving

Now

  • when you open the save-as again
  • you will see the 'myfolder' there on the left side
  • you can now click it and go directly to this folder without having do cascade down to it
  • you may create any number of folder shortcuts you need

 

Hope this will help
